    any places in ireland that do decent motherboard repair?

    ive a broken pin and i dont fancy soldering one on myself.

    few people telling me to go to a jewlery shop as they do a lot of pin repair.

    would it be worth a shot?

    Are you talking about the power pin on a laptop motherboard or what type of pin?
    I can imagine the looks you'd get if you brought a motherboard to a jewellers....

    i bought 680i motherboard.

    and the cpu sits onto a field of pins.
    one of the pins is broken.

    i know it would be wierd going to a jeweller's, but apparently they would be the best option for it.

    Try booting up without it,

    I had a similar issue on an AMD64 939 CPU,

    One pin got bent and fell off,

    It worked fine without it :)

    OK,

    Like I said, it worked for me, thought you might have not wanted to try booting in case it did further damage.
